Have drugs stopped working? You may need PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. Has complacency become paralysis? You may need PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. Is that what you’re wearing? You may need PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT with Little Lord is an untrained/unauthorized community-built self-help seminar. In a return to public performance after an extended pandemic pause, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT explores themes of self-actualization, identity and embodiment, pop psychology, body betrayal, and group care. Built through exercises and guiding questions garnered from self-help cassette tapes, game show contestant interviews, how-to guides for Clown Ministry, corporate soft skills webinars, professional team building exercises, and more, PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT asks deceptively straightforward but devastating questions: Are we back? Is this anything? Does this help? CW: Not ADA compliant–audience members will have to walk up two flights of stairs. The venue has no elevator.
